Are you assuming that most of us do not have CS degrees? I assume that most do.
That being said, I consider the terms to be interchangeable. I lean towards "software engineer", but certainly don't mind the "software developer" label.
- lfuller 11y agoIn Canada at least the title "engineer" is professionally regulated, so the terms "CS classes" and "software engineering classes" are non-interchangeable as with the titles "software developer" and "software engineer". The second requires an accredited software engineering degree and a license to practice engineering professionally.
